Maternity Session to Newborn Session

Friday, September 26, 2008

Here is a beautiful lady I had the opportunity to photograph while she was still pregnant and then again when their little daughter was only a few days old. I will say I am very proud that little G and her parents took the over three hour long trip to come and see me when their baby was not even a week old. The results were great. Baby G was very cooperative and I got exactly what I was hoping for from my session. It makes a big difference if we are able to capture the newborn’ness in the first two weeks.

If you are pregnant and would like to schedule a session to document this special time, check out my maternity package information on my FAQ page on my website. I love to photograph maternity sessions. Another benefit is that I get a change to create a relationship with the parents before baby is actually here.

Christening Gown

Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Meet pretty little E. She has the longest and prettiest lashes. What a sweet little girl.

These are from her four month session a little while ago. She was so good.

Her parents brought the pretty christening gown to document this special time. I am sure it will become an heirloom that little E will pass down to her children one day.

If you would like to schedule a session for your child I am currently booking for mid October at this point.

Since I still don’t have regular access to internet connection since hurricane Gustav, please call me to set up your appointment. My number is: Anna-Karin’s Photography : (225)284-6354. I look forward to hear from you.

One Year Old!

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Here is sweet little L. She recently turned one year and we celebrated with a cake smash. She loved the cake and ate every single crumb that there was. She stood up and held onto the little piece of paper that the cake was sitting on looking at us as if she wanted more. The cake was a creation by Ashley Stephens. If you would like her contact information for tasty and adorable little cakes let me know and I will happy share. Little L is a graduate of my baby plan and it has been a true pleasure to see her change from tiny newborn to independent young toddler.

After our session, little L was so messy with all the cake crum’s and frosting covering her hair and body. She had to get a little bath in my sink at the studio before it was time for her to leave.

If you would like to set up a session for your child, feel free to call me to do so. Anna-Karin’s photography (225)284-6354. I am still struggling with internet access due to our temporary move since hurricane Gustav. If you are trying to get in touch with me call me first. At this point I only have internet access here and there. At this point I am unsure when I will actually have normal internet coverage, but I will post here on my blog as soon as I know.

I can still get back with you by e-mail, it may just take a day or two longer then it normally takes.

Beautiful Newborn Baby

Sunday, September 14, 2008

I wanted to share this beautiful newborn little girl. Her parents were so good and came to me when she was only a couple of days old. Because they came when she was that young we got many beautiful and lovely photographs that they now have as a memory of this special time.

She was so good for us and put up with all the different poses I wanted to capture from this session.

If you are expecting a little one and would like beautiful portraits like these. Please contact me while you are still pregnant. We will then schedule a time in your child’s first two weeks to photograph the newness of your little one. The first two weeks is the absolute best time to do this as when they get older then that they are much more alert and it is hard to capture the newborn sleepy images. Right around two weeks the baby will be going through a growth spurt, this time they like to spend longer time eating. This can make a photo session a bit difficult as baby then is not happy about being photographed but rather want to be fed. Also, many newborns get baby acne that sets in around the second week and can sometimes last for up to month. This is sometimes hard to hide when photographing newborns, hence one more reason to why I prefer the newborns in their first two weeks of life.

To schedule a time for your newborn photo session with Anna-Karin, call me at (225) 284-6354.

Family Session

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Well it has been a while since I have been able to feature some of my clients due to all unusual activity going on. Since we are trying to get back to normal since the hurricane I thought it was about time.

Here is one family I had the opportunity to photograph in an outdoor session. We had a great time and I got many lovely captures.

These siblings really liked to be around each other which was refreshing to see. Hope that they continue to feel that was as they go through their teenage years,lol.

The two sisters had a fun time playing by the tree’s in the park.

If you reading my blog would like to schedule a session for your family. Now is a good time in order to have the prints ready to give at holiday times. I am currently booking for beginning of October right now. I have a few couple of session available during weekdays before then. Please call me (Anna-Karin)225.284.6354 to set up your session time.

We Got Slammed By Gustav!

Monday, September 8, 2008

Well it has been a week since I last wrote and lots has happened since then. We really got slammed by Gustav. The whole Baton Rouge area is in rough shape and many areas still don’t have power and will not for maybe about three weeks or so. That is very rough considering the heat we do get down here at this time of the year and then no power or AC .

For us personally we did survive Gustav but our house did not do to well. Our neighbors tree crushed our roofs and a branch went through the bedroom window. It also came through the ceiling in our bathroom.
Then before long water was pouring in through the ceiling in all our bedrooms.

Our house is not habitable as of now and we had to evacuate. The pictures here were taken right after it happened and after it stopped raining. It has since gotten worse where the ceilings are falling in. Our insurance company is being very helpful and we just got an apt actually right next to my studio. We will be staying there while our house is renovated.We have been rather busy this past week trying to empty our house and see what can be saved from the damage. If you are waiting for either your photographs to go online or your print order to come in. I am working on that and hope to be able to tend to that asap. This recent hurricane situation has put me and my family’s normal schedule a little bit off track for now.

If you are scheduled for a studio session in the near future we will go on as planned as my studio is just like normal with power as well. I am checking in with my on-location places to see how they fared the recent hurricane. Hopefully everything should be fine.

I still don’t have internet hooked up at our new place and am only able to check the internet temporarily right now. If you need to get hold of me please do call me as you will be able to get a faster response that way. My phone number is: Anna-Karin (225) 284-6354.

Thanks to all of you that has offered to help me and my family out. We are doing great and thanks to our friends we have been well fed and taken care of during this last week that was a little bit on the rough side for us. I hope that those of you that are local and reads my blog are ok? I would love for you to touch base with me and let me know how you and your family did in the aftermath of this recent hurricane. Feel free to send me an e-mail and just let me know.

I am hoping that this is the only hurricane we will get this season (don’t know how wishful that thinking is……). Baton Rouge area is having a hard enough time cleaning up after this one!

Other than that we are in a great mood and happy to be together. Thankfully what broke at our house are just material things and those can be replaced.

Thanks again for all well wishes. We are doing great!
